Nel bel giardin di bianchi gigli addorno trova', cercand', una fresca rosetta. Tanto mi piacque, che senza soggiorno coglier la volli cos8 teneretta. Entrai tra' bianchi fiori in su l'erbetta e colsila con piacere amoroso. sempre tegnendo ascoso e' diletti nel fioretto provati. TranslationThe hair of this lovely young girllooks like a skein of fine gold threads; her sweet love dart through all the senses brought gladness to my heart. In the fine garden, with white lilies adorned. I sought, and found, a lovely little rose. So much I liked it that, without delay. I picked it as it was, so fresh and tender. I went among the white flowers in the grass and picked it with amorous delight. cherishing within me the pleasure I received from that small flower.
